Reportedly Turkiye gave 72 hours to Russia to remove YPG elements 30km away from the Turkish border. There is zero chance that Russia can do that. At this point, there is not enough Russian might to do that.

Turkiye is not in a recession if we take TL into account. The problem is a foreign currency problem that could have been fixed with an interest rate increase. When things become more favorable we could have decreased the interest rates slowly. If somehow today the US/TL recovers magically...

Of course, several Kuzguns can be fired against several targets at the same time.

Yes. Only terminal illumination is needed for Bozok so multiple Bozoks can be fired with a short time lag between them. Let's say 100 seconds are needed to hit a target and terminal illumination is 15 seconds. You can fire a Bozok every 15 seconds. While the FLIR is illuminating the first target...

It doesn't matter this is old news. This roadmap is dead. 6000lbf is a super safe number. TF-6000 is guaranteed to have a 6000lbf thrust. We won't know the real thrust until we put it on the test bench and run the engine similar to TS-1400. I expect at least %10 more power than the 6000lbf...

BIG SURPRISE TF-6000 Design is completed. The project progressed to the prototype manufacturing phase. 6000lbs dry thrust 10000lbs with afterburner.

Anyway, I don't like Serdar. I don't like coaxial EO. It limits the capability of the weapon system.

It is not set as a requirement by the land forces. If land forces want it, it is very easy to do so.

The budget is enough to procure 2 per month. That's why the production rate is 2 per month. Very detailed plans are already made about the serial production and acquisition budget.

This can solve a lot of our problems if this also includes the oil and gas trade. Otherwise, the Turkish economy is in danger of default/moratorium/bankruptcy. Expect drastic measures from the end of the summer to the end of the year.

Ottomans were the direct descendants of Seljuks and Seljuks were ruling Syria nearly a thousand years ago. The last 1000 years of the history of Syria can be summarized as one Turkish state taking over the control from the other because of various reasons.

Operation is a go I phoned one of my friends in the area and he said they received mission orders(görev emirleri). The operation has been going on unofficially. Really important targets were hit last week. Now expect an official start at any time.

Yes, prototype engines were delivered last year to start integration studies but it was decided to use a random engine from the first serial production batch to use in the firing tests. Live fire tests with KTJ-3200 will be done in Q3 this year. KTJ-1750 tests will begin this month. KTJ-3700...

I expect the VLS version of the Atmaca and sub-Atmaca to be based on the land version. ~900kg launch weight, 500km range, and hybrid seeker. Premium product of the Atmaca family. Affordable deep strike capability compared to much longer ranged but also much more expensive Gezgin.

No they are not. Certainly, all of those companies can develop their own kement if not already. Another company that produces datalinks. https://www.milsoft.com.tr/index.php/portfolio/data-links/

If F-500C doesn't see a major delay I think phase III will include a new FLIR. I don't think R400D is a leap that is big enough to justify a new FLIR.

We have another project for it aka supersonic AShM. Atmaca is designed as a subsonic missile and can't be turned into a high supersonic missile unless it is redesigned from the scratch. High supersonic is Mach 4+ BTW and Brahmos is nowhere near that fast.

I'm very happy for Idealab. Idealab can specialize in micro turbine engines and earn money to sustain its R&D projects. Kale shouldn't go for engines under 2000N thrust.

Several companies. Aselsan, Metaksan and Tualcom are the first 3 that came to my mind. https://www.tualcom.com.tr/en/data-link https://www.aselsan.com.tr/en/capabilities/military-communication-systems https://www.meteksan.com/en/products/communication-systems There are others like NETA...

After the F500C project, we won't have any problems with FLIRs anymore. Aselflir-600 is like a prestige project.
